Rainbow Bridge Memories
This page is dedicated in loving memory to the MNSR foster and adopted Shelties who are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge Stories
 Sylvia joined her forever family in 2008, and she and her mom started agility classes together soon after. Sylvia shone on the agility course, earning her Open Jumps with Weave Poles title. Once she retired, she earned her Canine Good Citizen and began visiting nursing home residents. She brought much joy, and quickly trained her favorite people to give her a cookie after she sat and shook hands with them. Everyone loved Sylvia’s visits. Although she was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2012, with the help of holistic medicine, Sylvia was able to conquer this challenge for over 5 years, and her family was grateful for every day they had with her. Sylvia crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 23rd, 2018 and is so very missed. |
 Daphne came into our lives almost 9 years ago shortly after we lost Fiona, our first rescue Sheltie. We always felt like she was sent by Fiona. Incredibly shy and overweight at first, she lost her extra pounds and decided she loved attention from the people she knew well, but always kept that Sheltie reserve with strangers. She was happiest hanging out at home on a dog bed, or going on "walkabout" in the backyard. She was a good sport about accompanying us on hiking trips and even ran the Helping Paws 5k. Her "magic leash of confidence" helped her to come out of her crate when away from home. Daphne crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 17th, 2018 after living with late-stage kidney disease for nearly 16 months. Run free, Daphne, and may there be plenty of bunnies for you to chase.

 Lusa joined her forever family in 2008 and made herself at home with her very own Princess room for naps, and a Collie brother she tried to herd. She was the sweetest girl and earned herself sofa privileges, wanting to be close to mom as much as possible. Lusa crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 11th, 2018. |
 Deon joined our family in 2006 and was a loyal companion in our everyday life, our little shadow. He enjoyed a good bark and chase in the yard as neighborhood cars and people went by. Deon joined us most places we traveled and enjoyed summertime pontoon rides at the lake. Deon passed away peacefully on April 6th, 2018, lying outside soaking up the spring sun, where he loved to be. We were lucky to have him as a part of our family for the last 11 years.
